The volumes of the DAX* during cash hours are mostly strong during opening until 13:30 CET. When US opens at 14:30 CET
some shaky moments with higher volumes are possible but not sure and not often: see known News from the calendar.
In fact - the best market volumes are at Initial Balance (30min) from 9:00 to 9:30 and then maybe a change of
direction around 10:30.
Just some points out of experience.
Thank you for your reply!
Would the best cash market conditions apply for all Eurex Futures?
FGBL, FESX, FMK2, FDAX, FDXM, FXXP?
How would you rank these in terms of Institutional favourite instruments?
I am only trading the Dax future (normally) - so I can not give you a list of importance of instruments.
But more important: I am a market participant with a buy or a sell order. There are many different
traders - private to market makers, hedgers, institutional, banks etc.
I do NOT know who is the buyer of my selling position and vice versa.
Therefore no indications possible.
Thank you GFs1 for this post.
Is the volume for FDXM, FBTP, FGBL, FESX, FMK2 and FSTX similar to DAX during cash hours, and strong when you mentioned 09.00-09.30am until 13.30 CET ?
I will be trading from Australia, so 9.00am CET is 5pm my local time.
So then adding in your volume relationships, FDXM is only 1/20 of FDAX and FESX which are both roughly the same, and FGBL is the real monster elephant in the room.
I don't smoke, but I like the backs of fag packets.
Hi @warcious
Yes - 9:00 to 13:30 - or when US numbers are in the game: 14:30 are the best and most low risk times...
The Japanese etc. are no longer in the game and US is not open then.
But in fact - during Initial Balance (IB) 9:00 to 9:30 I am NOT in the game - as prices must be juggled
from overnight influences of different markets.
Hope this helps!
